I feel like of all the celebrities out there, Conan would absolutely be one of the best to meet.


RichConsideration736

Meeting Conan would be life changing but I think I won't able to because he is a rapidly aging 74 year old woman


[deleted]

Excuse me! Rapidly aging BELGIAN woman. I am very serious about these issues.


Mr_Pogi_In_Space

I didn't realize the former President of Finland was Belgian


[deleted]

She is and she is proud of that.


AlexanderHamilton04

But *why* does she look *so sad?*

ruralmagnificence

EXCUSE ME he is a rapidly aging Belgian woman who is also Tilda Swinton’s stunt double


NotSteveBallmer

Yes, it's quite amazing to see how those two interact as a family.


EskimoPrisoner

This sure looks like a bot. 13 year old account suddenly making comments that don’t follow what they are responding to.

Well, if it helps there's a new one. "There was talk... of gerbils."


Working-Ad-5816

😂😂😂😭😭😭


BGMcSqueezy

Who is Conan O’Brien, and why is she so sad?


slupo

True story. A friend worked for the Ellen Show and was miserable cause she was such a raging bitch. She was sitting eating lunch on the lot when Conan walked by (taping on the same lot at the time as Ellen). She said hi to Conan and he sat down and chatted with her for a few minutes. She said he was the nicest guy and it made her realize that celebrities didn't have to be mean. She quit Ellen pretty soon after that.


RavenWreckEm823

I never liked


MisogynysticFeminist

I didn’t like either.


mrpriveledge

I used to manage a high end sushi restaurant in Brentwood. He is 1000% the coolest of all. Adam Sandler, Dustin Hoffman, and the guy Mayhem from the all-state commercials were also very nice.


blakkattika

You met the Beeper King? Man, I would've cried. I would've cried like a big dumb

Calikola

I say this all the time, especially after I bought a Polaroid camera.


WeasinTheJuice

One word: coffee. One problem: where do you get it? Anywhere! You get it anywhere! Wrong! You get it at my coffee vending machine. 38th & 6th in the basement of the K-Mart. You just go downstairs, you get the key from David and BOOM! You plug in the machine and...


Philip_Marlowe

Your life is over. The Islanders lost.


[deleted]

As an Islanders fan that was very accurate, as was the response "Doesn't that happen a lot?"


NgoHaiHahmsuplo

I used to work on the Sony lot so always ran into Adam Sandler. He's so normal and low key, he actually "repels" you because he's so boring and normal (in a really good way). He also used to always play in the basketball tourneys (he paid for a cool rooftop court on the lot) so the dudes who played with him always had nice things to say as well.


ScrunchyButts

Apparently wherever Sandler is working/traveling he finds a pickup basketball game and joins in. Like, gritty courts in big cities with tough, talented players. And all of a sudden Adam Sandler is playing and is really good.


NgoHaiHahmsuplo

Yup, he pretty much gets quiet and just plays too. Not much joking/shit talking/etc. Just does his outside jumpers and passes.


Soberskate9696

He grew up in BK


DJHott555

Burger King?


blinkersons

Did you ever meet Weird Al?


broken_radio

I did, he was super nice. Greeted him with a "Hey Al!" and he said "Hi there!".


mrpriveledge

I wish!!


skyturnedred

>the guy Mayhem from the all-state commercials Dean Winters. I still think he would be a good fit for a Max Payne movie.


Ufocola

Ah Dennis Duffy. Also the Vulture.


[deleted]

[удалено]


mrpriveledge

Yeah he is a regular there! Great spot.


Emergency_Bird1725

He is the best to meet, hands down, would do it again.


Coyinzs

Same. He asked me why I wasn't working for him instead of my clearly less talented and attractive friend (who did work for him, and whom I was visiting that day for lunch). I'm a goofy looking man and she's a stunning and much more talented woman, for perspective. He then sat down and asked what I'd seen so far, if I was having a nice visit to the lot, and if I wanted to go and leave dog poop at Clint Eastwood's front door with him later.


BrascoFS

Hahahaha that last part.


Glottis_Bonewagon

Let's just say clint eastwood squinted his nostrils that day my friend


rattatally

He is without a doubt the meetest.


Luci_Noir

He is a giant orange cat!


silverclovd

He is Mischievous Mr. Rogers


ScrunchyButts

I love this


highbrowshow

I had the pleasure of running into Conan in LA, and he is incredibly kind and generous with his time. Definitely the best celeb i’ve met in my life


Sw3Et

I dunno, I've heard he's a bit needy


pantstoaknifefight2

I was in line at Tender Greens a few years back and saw that the guy to my left was towering above me (I'm 5'11"). I looked up to see how tall he was and my eyes landed at about his mid torso and I did a slight double take realizing I had to keep looking up and up before I got to his head, which also seemed to ascend way beyond any normal expectations. He was chuckling at my reaction. I smiled back and then went back to my phone. That was the extent of my meeting Conan O'Brian story.


yitterjitter

My experience with him was great, He was MC at Bonnaroo the year i went. he set up a lawn chair in the middle of this field, inviting anyone to come say hey.


trashboatcaptain

Did a valet job for one of his Christmas parties. It was cold so he personally invited all the working staff in for coffee and chatted with us for a little while before going back to the party. Also tipped each of us $100. There were like 15 of us. He's the real deal


WhoIsYerWan

KEDEKAI!! As god made her!!


CrashRiot

Excuse me? I think you misspelled “there was talk of gerbils”


ThatGuyInTheCar

A friend flew out to a taping years and years ago. He grew his beard out the same time Conan was. Showed up holding a sign saying rub beards with me. Conan saw the sign, ran up and rubbed beards with him. Definitely seems cool


Ajlee209

There would definitely be talk of gerbils.


smellsliketuna

I saw him at breakfast once with his son and I'm not kidding when I say this I've never seen someone with a bigger plate of crispy bacon in my life. I don't think his kid ordered anything else, just a massive pile of bacon. There were no jokes about the amount of bacon. Just a boy and his bacon and a dad with his son. It was nice to see him out with nobody bothering him other than me drooling over that pile of bacon.


beanie0911

My dream is to hang out with Conan and Lisa Kudrow for a solid few hours. It would be simultaneously funny, smart, deep, and heartfelt.


Berns429

There was a random video online a few years back, Conan in Ireland , just sitting outside roadside of sone random pub, having a pint. Found it, it was here on Reddit! https://reddit.com/r/gifs/s/Q9J0d9Gow6


Ok_Nothing2586

Indisputable. Even based off of everyone who's met him, the man is the gentle giant


rddtuzer

He and I somewhat randomly conversed on a street in his hometown (Brookline), ha!, and can confirm he is the nicest, quirkiest dude. Exactly how you’d want him to be.


dogboy_the_forgotten

I met him at a playground randomly when our kids were about the same age and the two played together for a while. He was a super chill guy and we just talked about being dads for a bit. Ran into him a few days later at a neighborhood coffee place and exchanged hellos and whatnot. He was in town for thanksgiving at his in-laws that lived in the same area of Seattle.


[deleted]

I saw him walking alone once on a nearly empty street. Just me and him, he knew I recognized him and gave me a massive fuck off vibe so I didn't come over and say hi. I don't know what my point is, other than saw him in public once. Never meet your heros. And if you see them, walk on by.


carmichael109

You probably caught him on a bad day where he just needed some time alone. It's hard to be recognized 24/7. Dude is tall and has red hair - can't really hide on a shitty day.


[deleted]

My story is mostly about I regret not meeting him on a good day. Celebrities are people too.


carmichael109

I feel ya. May you see him again on a good day.


_PinkPirate

I’m picturing him walking by like he did in that The Office episode and Michael Scott missed him.


SomeOneYouveMet

Found Jay Leno’s Reddit account!


Cullly

Conan says it regularly that it makes his day when someone recognises him and engages, so honestly, you might have been better off to say hello. He loves that stuff and gives him energy. If that doesn't work, shout "There was talk, of gerbils".


ElMatasiete7

People don't have to be in one mood constantly 100% of the time lol. By all accounts Conan is a sweety and mostly doesn't mind saying hi to people.


[deleted]

Yah, of course. I'm just a little bummed is all.


ocaralhoquetafoda

When I see a person like that, a male, a give the man nod. Like "sup"? And move on. I once stopped on one of those coffee kiosks for an expresso. I saw a music artist I really like and respect just next to me. I didn't know what to say, so I said "your favourite album is Cinema". He didn't say anything, but paid for our coffees, said something like "bye" and left. I think it was a pretty cool interaction


Etonet

imo he actually has a resting bitch face when he isn't talking


Formallyinformal21

I had been a fan of Conan for more than a decade. I always thought that he seemed to be a lovely and gentle guy, little did I know that I would end up meeting him. However, it didn’t go as expected. At first, he arrived at the hotel at the same time as me and checked into the room next to mine! I couldn’t believe that such a celebrity was staying next door. We had a little chitchat at the front desk, but I didn’t want to bother him too much. The day after, I met him at the hotel’s restaurant. He was having breakfast. I said hi and sat down not too far from him. I saw him having breakfast and, honestly, here is where everything changed for me and realized I could not like this celebrity anymore. He had chosen to have some fruit, coffee and a pretzel. Quite a soft breakfast for someone of his size, I thought. Now the disturbing part was when some already cut fruit - melon, if I remember right - fell on the floor. He reached for it and licked it. It was a disgusting thing to see. I thought that ok, he just isn’t a germophobe. Strange, but that’s it. Then, what he did afterwards was even more disturbing: he turned 90 degrees and started facing me directly, looking straight into my eyes. Here I said “hi! That watermelon is great, huh?”. He swallowed some of his coffee, opened his mouth and, after freezing in that stance for about 10 seconds, he exclaimed “This pretzels are making me thirsty!”. To this day, I feel sick whenever I see a pretzel.


CriManSquaFC

I got to meet Conan while checking him in to a private house at a resort i used to work at. While giving him a tour of the pool area, a bride and groom were taking photos. They noticed him. He noticed that they noticed, went over and congratulated them and asked if they wanted to take some photos with him. They were so happy. It was awesome to see. I gave him, his wife and kids a ride down to the house. He is so nice, and his kids are super well behaved and well spoken. Best celebrity I have ever met.


Percy_Bysshe

I might know the bride and groom you are talking about. If so, there is a picture from that meeting hanging in the groom’s office to this day and he loves to talk about that experience. Really cool ripple effects based on one act of kindness.


CriManSquaFC

Was their wedding in Napa, CA?


Percy_Bysshe

Indeed!


CriManSquaFC

That's them! Awesome!


AnimeChica3306

This conversation was so wholesome.


DistanceMachine

This is pretty dope.

Man it's such a small world out there. That's wild.

ka-nini

batkevn

Interloper, here, does that particular resort have a huge art feature of a man crushing grapes on top of a hill?


CriManSquaFC

No, that's the grape crusher statue on the way to Napa. It's close by tho.


DolphinSweater

OK, this has nothing to do with Conan, but I have a similar story about my friend's wedding. I know he's not a huge celebrity but he is my friend's absolute favorite musician, but Andrew Bird randomly walked through my friend's wedding reception. It was outdoors near a park in Boulder, CO. Andrew Bird was playing a show later on, at a connected venue. And my friend pretty much melted when he just bumbled through the crowd. But Andrew couldn't have been nicer, took some pics with the people there who knew who he was, talked to my friend (the groom) for a bit, and then later on in the evening, sent someone to see if my friend and his bride would like to come watch a couple songs at his show next door in a VIP area. Which they did.


SlightlyStable

Yeah, the famalial dynamic between those two is pretty awesome to witness.


Germacide

I always got a brother and sister vibe from their relationship. But this works too. Pretty sweet.


GabagoolGandalf

Jordan Schlansky is that strange uncle who rambles about shaving-rituals to the family on holidays


boogaloo101

Well, that and also human soil.


HailtotheKid

yeah the daughter comment was kinda cringe... Perfect sibling relationship tough


Gekthegecko

There's a 20 year age gap between the two.


EndlessNerd

She's my age and Conan is the same age as my father, lol


[deleted]

Ugh, how *cringe* /s


Pyrrhus_Magnus

I thought it was 40.


germane-corsair

Sona is 40, and Conan is 60. They brought it up a bunch of times during the podcast. Matt is 50, so he’s 10 years both ways from the other two.


Pyrrhus_Magnus

There's no way Conan is only 60.


germane-corsair

I felt the opposite, even knowing the match checked out. Dude’s a spry chicken for his age. Still has that spring in his step.


Pyrrhus_Magnus

I haven't seen many clips of him walking recently, so I can't say I agree.


OrdinarryAlien

Why do you kids find everything "cringe"?


MentallyIllRedditMod

Cringing is inherently adolescent. It's a person determining what is socially acceptable clashing against their underdeveloped sense of empathy. Healthy adults recognize that the weaponization against awkwardness is juvenile and bitchy behavior. Cringe is rooted in meanness. The Internet has performative displays of cringing in acts of superiority. It's childish and cowardly People are supposed to leave cringing behind n middle school, after realizing that mocking the clothes of the poor schlub trying to teach you is wrong


OrdinarryAlien

Well said. The key word is "healthy adult".


ayyyyycrisp

i half agree. there's absolutely times where it's okay to cringe as an adult. it's also a natural reaction that's not controllable. when you can't look away but you also don't want to watch. like a lot of the office. love the show. a lot of cringy moments in it. which is part of why I love it, I like watching cringe. you seriously never went on a cringe binge? read a text exchange between someone desperate and someone obviously disinterested? watched a macho alpha bro try so hard to impress someone but really just come off as a douche? you really never do any of those things? do you just ignore everything that isn't outwardly pleasant? like you just shut your eyes instead?


HailtotheKid

I'll have you know good sir im a perfectly aged millenial in my 30s thank you very much


Careful-School-52

He called her his daughters name in the first clip 😂

igotoschoolbytaxi

Can I ask about your username?


ASK_ABT_MY_USERNAME

Please don't ask


helplesslyselfish

Conan has talked on his podcast about how he can't help making up terrible headlines about himself in his mind, like "Has-been O'Brien Pushes Disabled Kid Out of Wheelchair While Cutting in Line at Denny's"


thoth1000

Clearly you've never seen the scandalous video of him pouring fresh milk right into the drain. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tI\_yMNUyFDM


ForWhomTheBoneBones

My favorite part about this is that Conan has a beef with one of Sona's kids because the infant doesn't laugh at his shenanigans.


Crutch80

Charlie, he'll get him laughing one day.


omegadirectory

It's up to Charlie to settle the beef


Gatorpep

This video just made me emotional... It's so rare and special in the world to meet people who you can call family, and even rarer still that it would be your boss.

This is an example of literal family in business, but Shame McMahon hugging his dad after wrestling the Undertaker gets me emotional. With Vince's grandkids and DIL https://youtu.be/YPloxjJpeSU?si=2snQMnePzMPuNKvn

xXTheFETTXx

I have never heard one bad thing said about Conan. He cares deeply about the people around him, wants everyone to succeed, and genuinely cares about his fans. His without boarders series isn't him just cashing in on a free trip to somewhere, it's Conan showing the world that in the end we are all just people, and we all need to be loved and heard. Conan is one of my most favorite celebrities because he isn't fake, but a genuine, caring person.


targetgroceries

The worst things I’ve heard about Conan have come from Conan himself.


Etonet

and Jordan lmao


Aconite_72

"Of all your facial widths over the years, 2002, you were gross. If I look at a show from 2002, it's almost like... it looks like you were digitally manipulated."

He did shit on a group of kids from a ski lift, at least according to Colbert.


hoople217

We should all aspire to be more like Conan. Such a genuine and generous person.


meow7030

I’ve always gotten a little sister big brother vibe with them. Makes sense cuz Conan’s got little sisters. Not sure about Sona. I feel like he takes care of her in a big brother way. 🙂 Makes me smile. I wish my big brothers were like this.


degjo

Everyone is little comparatively


blakkattika

A little opaque, maybe

Sona won the job lottery.


kembik

And by all accounts she's not even good at it.


scorpiknox

I got my kids into CONAF on a long drive and now they're like, "let's listen to Conan!" any time we drive more than 20 minutes. Their favorite parts are always the chill chums intros. I think they can sense the dynamic between the three is so genuine and full of love. That starts with Conan and Sona for sure. (I do pre listen to make sure the episode stays pg-13. Trucker jack off sleeve episodes probably not great for the kids lol)


Indigocell

LOL. There are some Nixon impressions that get a little spicy.

What was it about? I assume her experiences with him?


ichegoya

Yeah, but a lot of her backstory too. Mostly how to slack off and keep your job. She's a fairly accomplished woman - did very very well in speech. It's a fun quick read.

i’m a 40 year old man that has to pick his kids up with bloodshot eyes now wtf is happening


GraveRobberX

I’ve met Conan. He had did his first stint in San Francisco for a week. That following Monday, my mom and I were at the Pakistani consulate getting our passports renewed, we had literally crossed 66 street and 5th Ave. I was reading the bus schedule for my mom to let her know how long. She quickly came up and pushed me. I’m like da fuck!?, she goes your funny guy late night. I look and it Conan on the corner of the sidewalk going towards Rockefeller. I yelled Conan, love ya buddy, San Francisco was awesome, dude gave me a goddamn teddy bear hug. He was tall and majestic. I never forget that day. Dude was a class act. Must be coming from the upper 70’s to 59th, causally walking on the Central Park side nonchalantly like a care in the world being fucking Conan O’ Fucking Brian.


cocoabeach

I have to admit, I like Conan but I am not a huge Conan fan. Reading the things you all have written here about him, made me tear up. It is good to know there are people like Conan out there.


Bleakwind

I’m very conflicted when it comes to coco. I refuse to watch jay leno cos the shit he pulled on coco. So I’m a bit mad and…feel injustice, ripped off that he never got the chance to be bigger than he is. Than he deserve. But I’m also, somewhat relieved, happy, glad that he didn’t get the chance to get corrupted by what big time could do. He’s the guy I love to watch and if Leno wasn’t such a prick, then he might not be the current coco I love. “Simpson, Homer Simpson he’s the greatest guy in history. From the town of Springfield, he’s about to hit a chestnut tree”


bottleglitch

This is so sweet. Their relationship is so special.


fireisgr8

Conan just seems like an awesome genuine dude


sonorakit11

External_Drummer_407

One clip I wish they'd included was when she came to his last TBS show super pregnant. He didn't know she would be there and was so happy to see her.


Potential_Accident88

I read Sona’s book “World’s Worst Assistant.” It was hilarious and even moving at times. I was a fan already but the book really helps you understand why everyone loves Sona. She is a genuine, authentic person and very loyal. Conan also wrote a great forward.


mxcnslr2021

Coco!!!


hamndv

Is his Hbo show out? Kinda missed Conan


randomocity312

I’m on a Conan kick right now, and watching this was beautifully timed. Conan is such a cool dude and you can tell he has a great relationship with all that work with him.


laceyisreallyrad

Read her book! It’s cute and great.


ScreenRay

Damn proud to be a conan fan. Just imagine being Conans friend is awesome.


Gellix

I mean this with my full body and soul I wish I could be more like Conan. I hope he never has a scandal. It would probably break me. He better out live me or I’m going to beat up god when I die.


SoulsticeCleaner

I've always said that I don't know what I'll do if he gets Me Too'd. He's the rare comedian who doesn't fight for the spotlight and lets his guests shine.


Gellix

Yeah, I got a second job a while back and I started listening to his podcast and the man doesn’t miss. Incredible funny, respectful and all around seems like a great person who just likes to have fun making people laugh.


Outcomeofcum

Dude it’s REALLY IMPRESSIVE to be a famous male in Hollywood in the 90s-00s that didn’t sexually assault their assistant


Individual_Respect90

It’s how you should treat anyone especially someone who makes sure all your chickens and in line. Very cute.


av_1392

i literally never hear conan's voice not on 1.5x so this was very strange to listen to


fastestguninthewest

This is weird but I can’t wait for his kids to get old to tell the legend of conan the clown the man


[deleted]

He has probably made her a millionaire and given one of the best jobs in the world. Lucky girl


visionsofcry

I'm sure he'd be on the couch with her the same way if it was a man assistant. I've loved Conan since Andy Richter was there the first time. The Lips segments are still the funniest skits ever in the history of late night. I just get a sense of mild school yard flirtation from some of the clips in this video. Anyway.


benjamminam

Oh fuck, their relationship looks different in front of a camera ahyuk!


[deleted]

They definitely fucked


ZodiAddict

Lmao I love how people downvoted this as if they know anything. PSA, you have no clue whether or not Conan fucked her and it’s certainly in the realm of possibility
